Sophisticated economic jargon is routinely used to pull the wool over the eyes of the American people. We're consistently told we "don't have the money" for things that should simply be considered rightfully ours.

A case in point is the 2017 tax cut v. the college loan debt crisis. The tax cut (83 cents of every $ went to richest people & corp) cost $2T, and the loan debt is less than that. The 2017 tax cut should be repealed, although the middle class tax cut part of it should be kept in.

See what really went on there. We're told the tax cut was an economic stimulant - which it wasn't. THE REAL ECONOMIC STIMULANT WOULD BE TO REMOVE THE COLLEGE LOAN DEBT ENTIRELY. The release of creativity & productivity would immense, creating wealth across the board for everyone.

So my proposal is not a plan that reduces the debt. My proposal is that the American people wake up on this one, realize how bamboozled we have been by trickle down economic theory for the last 40 years & ask for what we really want: Not just to reduce the debt. REMOVE THE DEBT.

We are going to have to disagree on this. No one puts a gun to anyone’s head and makes them take on student debt for useless classes. There are multiple ways to get a quality education without running up impossible debt. Floating these ideas just encourages more debt!

1/I have this hope, that we wake up from our dreams to realize, while there’s still time, the heavy weight that will fall off our backs as soon as the fertile imagination of our politicians have no way out. Today the moral debt we are in is huge, pushed by our immigration issues.

There’s no such thing as trickle down economic theory, babe. It’s a pejorative made up by the loony left. 🤡 If you haven’t noticed, you kids like to make shit up.

I see that, it's happening now... But none of you running has the integrity to give POTUS45 a sentence of acknowledgement, look at NK peace talks... Yet nothing from you, why not?

Only 1/3rd of people entering high school go to college. Only 2/3rds of those graduate. Is it fair for the government to tax the 2/3rds who didn't go to college to pay for the 1/3rd who did? To subsidize those who borrowed rather than work they way through college?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Statistically this is “the poor” (non college educated) paying for “the rich” (college educated) all so you can buy votes
